The Korean Central News Agency has just announced an underground nuclear test
The Korean Central News Agency is hereby releasing the following report,
in connection with todays successful underground nuclear test:
Our scientists and technicians,
as part of the measures to bolster up The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear deterrent for self-defence in every way,
on May 25 Juche 98 or 2009
have successfully conducted one more underground nuclear test.
The current nuclear test
was safely conducted on a new higher level
in terms of its explosive power and technology of its control
and the results of the test helped satisfactorily settle the scientific and technological problems
arising in further increasing the power of nuclear weapons
and steadily developing nuclear technology.
The successful nuclear test
is intensifying the drive for effecting a new revolutionary surge to open the gate for a thriving nation,
and greatly inspiring our army and people all out in the 150-day campaign.
The nuclear test will contribute to defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation and socialism
And it will ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the region around it with the might of Songun
